Travel Clothing With Hidden Pockets

I love these pants! With the cold weather approaching fast, I 've been wearing them almost every day at the crag. They are a great layer to belay in. I usually just throw them on over my leggings, take them off right before I start climbing, and throw them back on once I return to the ground. The stretchdown material is super durable, so I never have to worry about snagging or ripping a hole in them, and the stretch factor is insane! They are the most comfortable puffy pant I 've had thus far. The whole stretchdown line has proven to withstand a sport climbing season in the Red and a bouldering season in Chattanooga, so I do n't expect anything less from these pants. I recommend going up one size so they can fit over your pants/leggings comfortably. I usually wear leggings so going up one size was enough for me.

This will be my first winter working as an apprentice ski guide in the PNW, and I ca n't wait to have this in my pack for big days and overnights! I ordered a medium- long and love the fit- usually somewhere between 8- 10 in women's pants, but the long inseam is a must and I LOVE that MHW offers this- I will usually look here first for new pants for any season because of this option. The elastic ankles are a little tight but fit well inside of rubber/rain/snow boots well. Thrilled with the pockets- the zippered pocket is big enough for a phone or a wallet and the hand pockets are toasty warm. Also love the integrated belt closure and design of the waist in general- no bunchy or tight elastic but a snug fit if adjusted so. I 've found stretch- down to be very durable, read: sitting on wood rounds, on a rough hut bench, tailgate- not an issue. With the excellent durability and comfortable fit I will be taking this pants with me on several overnights in huts this winter and definitely on any winter- camp/ski trips. Best attempt at down pants I 've seen so far...

I have wanted puffy pants for YEARS, truly. I also haven ’ t trusted myself to buy them. I knew that I ’ d singe a burn hole within a week of owning them and feathers would go flying. Enter the puffy pants of my dreams — the Stretchdown Pants. As a female backpacking guide throughout the winter, it ’s really difficult to keep my hips warm. Traditional insulated pants are often quick to rip and tear. I can not hype these pants up enough. I got a small/long, and was a bit nervous about the fit( I usually wear size 4- 6, but it ’s hard to find pants with enough length). They fit perfect! The stretch- when fabric is durable when making dinner around a fire or setting up my sleeping bag in the desert. The pockets are deep enough to actually store things in. and the waist band is sung without being too tight! The insulation is amazing. We ’ ve had several early coId, wet fronts blow through Utah, and I have been continually impressed by these pants. I feel toasty in below freezing temps. Loved putting these pants on after a long day of hiking and instantly feeling cozy. It's like a pillow hugging your legs. What more could you ask for?! I tell anyone who listens( and even people who do n't) how great these pants are. I will be wearing them all winter while camping and skiing. The. Best.

I got these a week ago and practically lived in them for the first few days. I 'm a yogi, hiker and CA Naturalist, and I use my gear to hike, practice yoga and camp in the northern California coastal area. I 'm usually a medium, and I ordered a medium short. I 'm 5' 7 '' and have a 32 '' waist and 39 '' hips, and these are too short for me but fit well with an inch or so of room to spare around the waist. I ordered short because I generally like pants to stop at my ankle and not be bunchy at the bottom. Given these pants are insulating, I wish I had gotten the regular inseam to keep my ankles warmer. When walking, they rise up about 3 inches from the ankle to almost calf with each step. Total customer error. I really love the insulation of the down and comfort and flexibility of the Stretchdown material. I 'm able to explore full range of motion for yoga in these pants. and they 're so soft and cozy. The fact that the down insulation is Bluesign( sustainable materials) approved and RDS( responsible down certified) is a total plus. RDS down supports animal welfare by supporting more ethical raising of geese or ducks and forbids live plucking of down feathers. The pants actually came with a tag which included a QR code to trace the down, share information about the insulation and its origin. The pants come with deep hand pockets and an elastic band around the ankles and waist along with a cinching belt around the waist to secure them. I 'm excited to get up early for morning yoga and hikes because I 'm so cozy in these pants.

I ’ m a backcountry Ski Patroller that teaches Outdoor Emergency Care and Avalanche Classes in the Rocky Mountains. I need my gear to perform both while patrolling and teaching classes, which usually involves temperature extremes and a lot of transitions between high output activities like skinning and digging and rest periods during transitions and lecture/discussion. I also need gear that is durable and can withstand several days in a row of use and abuse. I ’ m usually a small, but have long legs( a 34 ” inseam) so I got the Small Longs and they fit great. I ’ ve been on the hunt for a cozy pair of down pants that I can use for really cold days in the field and as a quick way to warm up after skiing, and the Stretchdown pants have filled this need for me. They are my new go to for after teaching or patrolling because they are both warm( thanks to the down insulation) and incredibly comfortable. I ’ ve worn down pants in the past that were bulky and slippery, but the way these are stitched keeps them relatively low profile and the stretchy fabric is soft and quieter. The full length is great for cozy comfort, and the ankle cuffs are stretchy enough that I can pull them up over my calf so that I can still wear them with ski boots. These pants are great for anyone that needs a warm, down base layer for cold winter missions or winter camping as well as people like me that want something toasty and comfortable to throw on after a day on the slopes. If you are planning on always using them as a layer while skiing, you might want to go with something ¾ length, but for versatility and comfort, these are the move. They ’ ve also become a desert trip staple for during the off- season when I need something warm for hanging by the fire after the sun goes down.
